Lobular carcinoma (my unwelcome pet) is a shit of a thing to diagnose.
My first cancer 11 years ago, saw me go down a similar path. It just doesn't show up on scans like DCIS does. It took nearly two years before I cracked it and demanded the lump that really didn't look like lump was removed. 40mm invasive cancer. 10 years later, same story. I still can't believe it took four years for me to demand the removal of yet another 'non issue scar tissue'. No fool like an old fool, but the bloody thing didn't ring any bells for anyone but me.
Lesson learned, listen to your inner bell. Which can be quite exhausting.
